The distal end of porcine chromosome 6p is involved in the regulation of skatole levels in boars [PDF]
, 2011 Background Boar taint is an unpleasant condition of pork, mainly due to the accumulation of androstenone and skatole in male pigs at onset of puberty.

Regulation of 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/∆5-∆4 Isomerase: A Review [PDF]
, 2013 This review focuses on the expression and regulation of 3β-hydroxysteroi ddehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4 isomerase (3β-HSD), with emphasis on the porcine version. 3β-HSD is often associated with steroidogenesis, but its function in the metabolism of both steroids ...

BMC Genetics, 2010 Background Boar taint is an unpleasant odor and flavor of the meat and occurs in a high proportion of uncastrated male pigs. Androstenone, a steroid produced in testis and acting as a sex pheromone regulating reproductive function in female pigs, is one ...

Pemenone and Androstenone do not Cross-adapt Reciprocally [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 1996 Explorations of the qualitative and quantitative differences between the odors of pemenone (PEM), androstenone (AND) and isovaleric acid (IVA) show that they share a number of common perceptual characteristics. Among these are similarities in their odor quality and relative intensity ratings.

BMC Genomics, 2011 Background Boar taint is observed in a high proportion of uncastrated male pigs and is characterized by an unpleasant odor/flavor in cooked meat, primarily caused by elevated levels of androstenone and skatole.

Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Abstract Boar taint is an off-odour or off-flavour that develops in heated pork products from entire male pigs, which is caused by the accumulation of androstenone, a sex pheromone, in the fat. However, we have previously demonstrated that a significant amount of androstenone undergoes sulfoconjugation upon synthesis in the Leydig cells ...

Effect of androstenone or androstenone in combination with β-estradiol on 17βHSD7 gene expression in HepG2 cell line and pig primary hepatocytes. [PDF]
, 2012 The data were normalized with HPRT housekeeping gene. Treatments: 1A = 1 nM androstenone, 1A +10E2 = 1 nM androstenone +10 nM β-estradiol, 10A = 10 nM androstenone, 10A +10E2 = 10 nM androstenone +10 nM β-estradiol, 100A = 100 nM androstenone, 500A = 500

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2011 Background Previously, in boars with extreme androstenone levels, differential expression of the CYP11A1 gene in the testes has been characterised. CYP11A1 is located in a region where a QTL influencing boar fat androstenone levels has been detected in a

Hypothetical network visualizing the proposed difference maintaining and regulating steroidogenesis and androstenone biosynthesis in high and low androstenone boars. [PDF]
, 2014 Legend: Circular nodes: genes, hexagonal nodes: enriched pathways, diamond nodes: pathways that might be involved in steroidogenesis, but not found in results, rectangular nodes: metabolites from pathways.

IMPLEMENTATION OF GENOMIC INFORMATION IN SELECTION OF BOARS ON SKATOLE AND ANDROSTENONE CONCENTRATIONS [PDF]
Poljoprivreda, 2015 Genomic predictors offer an opportunity to overcome the limitations of classical selection against boar taint, and this study evaluated different approaches to obtain such predictors. Samples from 941 pigs were included in a design which was dominated by
